Appco Group Australia-New Zealand R & R Conference update

The Appco Group Australia-New Zealand annual R&R conference was held from June 13th in Port Douglas. Here's the first update:

Appco Group sources say, “The arrival to Port Douglas from interstate was a little shaky as an ominous ash cloud from a Chilean volcano impacted flights creating some delays. However, this was soon forgotten as more than 250 delegates including senior management staff, Country Heads, Vice Presidents, Owners, Assistant Owners, Team Leaders, and Administrators arrived in the sunny surrounds of the Sheraton Mirage Resort for a week of meetings, workshops and networking opportunities.”

We’re constantly reviewing our business structure to see how we can assist the broader group. This includes developing new support systems and avenues for new business. We’re noticing the increasing cost of energy in Australia, and the world for that matter, and believe there is a real opportunity to assist businesses and home owners in this area with our expertise...We want to empower those who work within Appco Group, and reward those that achieve success and produce great results for clients.
